ERROR_CTX_CANNOT_MAKE_EVENTLOG_ENTRY

ERROR_CTX_CANNOT_MAKE_EVENTLOG_ENTRY means the session subsystem could not create the registry information required to log events for the session. The underlying cause is commonly a registry write failure, a damaged event-log registration, or an installation problem.

What to check

  • Review the System log for Access Denied, registry, or event-log errors at the same time.
  • Check whether the server was recently restored, hardened, or modified by endpoint-management or security software.
  • Fix the underlying Windows/RDS component issue rather than suppressing event logging; the lost event can hide the actual connection failure.
